In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, beauty expert and breast cancer survivor Sonia Kashuk and Target have joined The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) for the fourth year in a row to create an exclusive, limited-edition collection of makeup and beauty accessories. The assortment - which includes such items as the "Lend A Hand" nail polish trio ($9.99), "Pretty in Pink" eye palette ($12.99) and "Seeing Pink" purse brush set ($12.99) - will be available exclusively at Target from August 22 through October 24 and 15 percent of the purchase price will benefit BCRF.

Sonia must have loved putting the eyelash curler in this range - those who are being treated for breast cancer invariably lose their hair, including eyelashes! A great way to support breast cancer research and long life to you, Sonia.

Why does your comment seem sarcastic?....even somewhat catty? We all know that it is the PROCEEDS that go to breast cancer research, it's not like Sonia's out handing out kits containing lash curlers to patients going through chemo....let's be serious. Sonia is a breast cancer survivor herself. Oh, let me guess....you didn't know that.

Anyhow, I think the pink brushes are BEAUTIFUL and a great way to show support for a wonderful cause. If I didn't already own so many brushes I'd be rushing out to get a set. But I still plan to get some to give as Christmas gifts, so its a win-win.
